Can't telco set up a telephone number for us to report. Once they received such a report, they verify and block the number from making any further calls. Of course it has to be a Singapore registered number first. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any number claiming to be DHL is still a prank call till money is transacted. There is no law for impersonating a DHL person BUT it is a crime to impersonate a Govt or doctor, lawyer or policeman. Thats, why the advise, is for you to hang up because nothing further can be done and jurisdiction boundary aside, its way too resource-intensive.

They already have.. the IO told me back then they are the ones receiving complains and reports from the public, then investigate, then submit the list to telcos... I was thinking.. If these numbers are randomly generated by software to fake the caller id, it's lppl. It only works if all these numbers are genuine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I gave my number out was to apply a cc during a bank roadshow, about 2 months ago. Also supp one to my wife.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kb27 Supersonic February 18, 2020 Share February 18, 2020 I read about this: if your phone CLI display +65... it is most likely from one of those numbers trying to scam you. If a true local number calls you, it doesn't display +65. I dunno if it's always true or not, but I've received one. I didn't answer. I call back and it was a busy tone. Sometimes, you'll get an auto reply: "this number is not in use". 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I answer, they claim I call them and ask what can they do for me ... Seems like trying to confuse the recipient / receiver. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBS/POSB may call u and requesting for some actions from our part. DO NOT action. Just hang up. I have just received such calls, hanged up and checked with DBS/POSB abt this, they informed that it is a SCAM! So pls be careful on this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSP415 Supersonic February 27, 2020 Share February 27, 2020 Today's scam alert shared by a friend : FYI guys and gals.... I received a call from “Singtel” this morning claiming that there were security issues with my internet access over the last few days and asked how many are accessing internet and whether I’ve given password to others. I asked her why Singtel calls me and not my own service provider. She said Singel was in charged of the security. Told the Indian accent lady that I’ll check with my own service provider before I continue the conversation with her. Starhub replies as follows: To put your mind at ease, we've checked our records and can confirm that there's no report at StarHub concerning security issues. We can guarantee that we will let our users know for any preventive measures if there's an issue with our system. ***************************** Scam caller's number but guess its useless cos randomly selected for illegal activity. Friend shared that someone locally lost $300k thru this scam so just be alert. Especially the older folks at home may be tricked or confused into following instructions.
